Dataset Description
This dataset contains statewide Unemployment Insurance Average Benefit Duration and Exhaustion Rate. Data is computed for a moving twelve-month period. Formulas are based on the USDL's UI Data Summary. Data is computed for a twelve-month moving period ending each month. The maximum duration for most UI benefit recipients was reduced from 26 weeks to 16 weeks for new claims filed beginning July 2022. The high number pandemic related claims in 2020 have caused the figures to be volatile. Figures should return to normal when weeks compensated figures catch up with first payments. This data includes Regular Unemployment Insurance benefits. Data excludes Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees (UCFE), Unemployment Compensation for Ex-servicemembers (UCX), and temporary extensions such as Extended Benefits (EB) and Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC).
